Chapter 555 [Go Together?]

"I really hope this snow will continue to fall a little longer, and it's better to go back three to five months."

Chen Daolin stood at the city gate of the main barrier of the northwest fortress, looked out to the north and sighed quietly.

"I remember you said before, you hate snow." Lodell's words contained a hint of irony.

"If this snow can help me block the orc's going south, I'm willing to let it continue." Chen Daolin curled his lips and spread his hands: "It's a pity that we all know that winter will pass sooner or later - in fact, it's about to pass."

"We have also made a lot of preparations, aren't we?" Lodell also frowned. Her frowning looked a little cute, which made Chen Daolin unable to help but take a look at it.

“No amount of preparation is enough.”

Chen Daolin shook his head.

In the past month, three "tidal magic engines" have been transported to the city wall one after another.

Yes, there are only three units.

Although the tidal magic engine he originally designed was a silly, big, thick, rough thing - no matter how fine the things are, don't expect the world's craftsmanship level to be created, let alone the students and teachers of the Magic Academy.

In fact, Chen Daolin overestimated their productivity. In one month, the group of students and teachers made six units, but after inspection, only two units could be used.

In addition to the prototype made by Chen Daolin himself, they were transported to the fortress's city defense together.

The city defense originally had a sturdy arrow tower. After dismantling the internal crossbows, it dug up a storage space, and then removed part of the south side of the city wall, and a copper pipe was connected...

The only thing that looks a bit ridiculous is the rows of small blast furnaces built behind the city defense.

This row of blast furnaces is not just fun to watch. In fact, they can provide heat energy to the tidal magic engine during wartime, that is, the fire element.

Can you still make steel in your spare time?

At present, dozens of tons of steel made of this small blast furnace have been stored in Chen Daolin's warehouse. By the standards of showing the world, this steel is naturally inferior, but in a feudal era with backward metallurgical technology... this kind of thing is enough to create the best weapon.

After seeing these steels, as Chen Daolin's number one thug, uh, or Montoya, who is the number one general, made suggestions. He was very interested in these high-quality steels and believed that it could create a batch of top-notch weapons and armor.

Especially armor! This kind of steel can create the strongest full-body steel armor. It is much lighter than the full-body armor made by the Roland Empire!

If you can equip the cavalry...

However, Chen Daolin said he was not very interested in this suggestion.

If there is a abundant source of troops, the sea of ​​cavalry and infantry will be exposed, the sea of ​​people will be played, and wearing this advantageous equipment that is armed to the teeth, and then destroying the orcs - this is of course a very beautiful scene.

But Chen Daolin still had to cry and dispel this idea.

After all, when I was young, I also watched many movies of Russians. The tide-like charge of the Russians, and the large army of ten thousand people shouted "Wula" and then moved forward bravely like a tide. It was indeed very beautiful and also very exciting.

But where did you ask Brother Darling to find so many soldiers?!

His soldiers now have a lot of plans and can't even pull out thousands of people!

The original painting cake that controlled the entry and exit of the Northwest Fortress deceived dozens of chambers of commerce and thousands of guards he cheated...

But the problem is that it is true that businessmen are born to pursue profits. But businessmen also refuse to do a loss-making business!

Now it seems that there is more and more information about the orcs going south... those chambers of commerce naturally retreat.

In peacetime, it was one thing for everyone to send a hundred people to each family to create a northwest trade route to share the money.

But even though I knew that the war was going to fight, the trade route would definitely be destroyed... At this time, who would still be willing to throw the lives of their guards into the water for nothing?

In fact, this winter, Chen Daolin also spent a lot of effort trying to continue to convince the chambers of commerce. However, the effect was not good.

Many chambers of commerce have given up.

This phenomenon, even after defeating the orcs last attack, did not rekindle the enthusiasm of the chamber of commerce.

After all, they are chambers of commerce, not national governments. Fighting such things is not within the scope of businessmen's vocation.

It is naturally good for adults to join people to do business and make money. Do you want everyone to join people to go to war?

It's still faster to shake your head.

Several chambers of commerce have withdrawn their escorts. There are also several that have not been in place before, so there is no need to rely on them at this time.

The only ones that continue to support Chen Daolin are the Liszt family chambers and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce.

Although the fat man Anguluo had never come to the northwest, he had actually re-connected with Chen Daolin through his chamber of commerce.

This fat man was loyal and sent a 200 guard team, all of whom brought their own weapons and their own dry food, and could fight and fight. As for the others, Fat Man Anguluo couldn't help. After all, Fat Man An was not having a good life in the imperial capital. A lot of new nobles stared at him with green eyes, trying to eat his business.

The Liszt family sent a escort of five hundred people - of which 300 were recruited mercenaries, while the two hundred were slaves of the Liszt family, or were sent in the name of Lodell's dowry.

Brother Darling could only accept it with his nose - anyway, he had tied up with Lodell, and now he was about to part ways with this girl, I'm afraid there is no possibility of it.

Especially the little girl Lodell, I'm afraid she's waiting for me to touch her bed one night?

In other words, Chen Daolin's current armed forces are weaker and have fewer troops than when he defeated the orc attack last time.

In addition to the thousand men in his original military team, there are only the people from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce and the Liszt family.

With all the plans, it is already the limit to being able to gather more than 2,000 combat soldiers.

Just a little force, the tactic of hedging with orcs? How crazy is it to be able to do it?!

Chen Daolin is absolutely sure that the next orc invasion will definitely be in units of tens of thousands.

Just like this, even if you get everyone a set of steel armor and steel swords for the whole body - send them to the battlefield to fight with orcs? Such a little force is definitely a gift.

There is absolutely no need to think about melee combat.

Chen Daolin's attention is to distance.

He ordered a large number of crossbow arrows.

Then he ordered Master Kang's workshop to open up all the motivation to create arrows - all-steel arrows!

This kind of sword has a special name in the Roland Empire, called the Armor-breaking Arrow.

Except for the two days of the New Year, after the New Year, almost the entire Chen Daolin's territory was mobilized, thousands of civilians were conscripted, and the entire northwest fortress turned into a large construction site.

In the north of the Northwest Fortress, several trenches were dug out on the ground. A large number of trees were cut down and countless horses were scattered, and densely piled up on the ground north of the Northwest Fortress.

Standing on the city wall and looking down, the crooked trenches on the ground, plus the piles of horse-rejected horses and sharp wooden sticks, it seemed like a piece of ruins.

If possible, Chen Daolin certainly wanted to make a war weapon like barbed wire.

Unfortunately, the metallurgical technology in this world is not yet mature, so it is too difficult to make wire. A small amount of wire is not enough to arrange a wire mesh of sufficient thickness in front of the defense line.

You can only use trenches and horse-rejecting things as replacements.

With these things blocking the north of the northwest fortress, the enemy's direct attack speed on the city wall can be delayed. The enemy's time to cover the area through the firepower of the defenders' crossbows and magic cannons will greatly reduce, which will cause greater damage.

This is the best way Chen Daolin could think of.

As for the holy rank...

Chen Daolin did not blindly be arrogant.

Orcs had a holy rank more than a hundred years ago! How many days have they entered the holy rank?

This kind of situation of saint-level masters fighting against each other will really happen. This pink newcomer of the holy level is probably not able to beat the old man who has been in the past 100 years. He dragged Dean Carmen and could fight together, even if he could not win or lose, he would be a snicker.

What a pity... I wish I could have made a thousand guns.

Don’t think about ak47 or something, don’t think about Thomson’s submachine gun, and you don’t expect it to be a big 38th hood.

It’s a luxury to have a thousand rear-mounted rifled guns!

Gunpowder is not a problem. Chen Daolin can come up with the best recipe in minutes.

But the problem is that the barrel cannot be built!

Without real industry, craftsmen can’t use hand to draw rifles, right?!

Relying on the city defense, relying on a large number of armor-breaking arrows, magic cannons, and dozens of magicians as mobile turrets... This is Chen Daolin's core defensive tactics.

After his own calculations, under such a premise, his northwest fortress could withstand the impact of no more than 10,000 orc troops at most.

If there are more... then it will definitely be a loser.

Of course, the premise is that the other party also has a holy level. If the other party does not move the holy level, Chen Daolin is confident that he can block 20,000 orcs.

At worst, I can't go on the battle personally to take over the head of the general from the ten thousand troops. The beheading tactic is also very effective.

“The population in the northwest is still too small.”

Chen Daolin sighed.

Lodell squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Daolin: "Darling, there is a question I have never asked you."

"What?"

Chen Daolin frowned and looked at this girl - was she going to force her to get married?

"If...I mean if." Lodell sighed and whispered: "If the orcs go south, we can't stop them and defeat them... what are your plans?"

Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment.

Intend?

Then what else can you plan? Of course, you are pulling your own woman and friends and letting go!
